REMODELED ACME IS
ASSET TO THIS TOWN
Personification of Neatness, It
Not Only Carries a Choice
Line of Standard Goods But It
Materially Aids Farmers By
Buying Their Surplus Stock
In Large Quantities.
COURTESY IS WATCHWORD
This week-end will mark the opening of a remodeled Acme No. 111.
The store has been in North Canton
for a good many years; It has served
the people of this community faithfully and well. The improvements
made within the store will make it
still more pleasant and more convenient for the shoppers of North Canton.
The vegetable department will make
available for Acme customers practically any fruit or vegetable they desire. This display is the largest and
best kept in North Canton.
Although the Acme Store in Norch
Canton is owned by the Fred W. Albrecht Grocery Company in Akron, it
has always been considered a locally
owned store. Acme No. Ill is under
the direct supervision of William C.
Rowe of Canton.
Moves Surplus Crops
The Acme Stores are members. of
The National Association of Food
Chains. This association has done a
great deal to help move farm surplus
crops. The Acme Stores have been
very much interested in this program
and have assisted the work from the
very start.
Although this particular farming
community has not been over-burdened with surplus crops, other communities have, and the Acme Stores
have aided in reducing the surplus
and the people of .North Canton have
had the advantage of low prices and
high quality and fresh merchandise,
Help Fruit Growers
Fred C. Pockrandt, an executive of
the Fred Albrecht company, is vice
president of the organization that
' has as its object the proper distribu
tion of surplus crops. In 1936 the
Acme Stores were active in the moving of heavy peach crops which raised
the price of peaches from $15 to $30
per ton to the farmer and gave a
real bargain price in canned peaches
to the consumer.
Last year the heavy apple crop was
moved at an advanced price to the
farmer and a low price to the consumer.
Mr. Pockrandt told this writer for
The Sun that Ohio surplus products
were handled first by Ohio members
and then other states were helped in
their surplus problems.
Acme No. Ill has a very high rating among all of the Acme Stores.
As one of the Acme officials said:
"We consider Acme No. Ill one of
the best stores in our group. We can
always depend on the enthusiasm, cooperation, and sincerity of the people
in this store."
Able, Courteous Staff
The Acme Store in North Canton
has an able and courteous staff composed of the following persons: James
Archer, manager; E. W. Baad, Leona
Bishop, Harold Schoner, John S. Surbey, Helen Decker. Extra clerks, Cletus Moledor, Beulah Levinger.

PEOPLE'S COLUMN
The People's Column will be
found on page two of The Sun
today.
Told Without
Varnish h Ben Long
I am convinced that only by such
a medium aa this column can certain
types of news and opinions be Bet
forth.
Baseball—Then and Now
A man well
known in North
Canton—he delivered a "pep"
address in
the Community
Building several
years ago—
Denton Tecum-
seh Young by
name—was introduced to the
audience by his
old friend, William J. Evans,
a baseball fan
of the first rank.
From ' what I read in the Boston
papers Cy Young—"Old Cy Young"—
is going to remain as "greeter" at
Fred Putnam's hotel on Huntington
avenue in that city of culture, brown
bread, beans, codfish and spectacles.
The reason: "The New England climate always makes me feel as chipper
as a colt."
Cy owns a farm in Peolia, Tuscarawas county, and, making frequent
business trips to Canton, he has a
large acquaintance in that town.
Thirty-odd -years ago Cy Young
could split a fairly thick board with
a pitched ball, and he was undoubtedly the greatest of his day. Talking
with a Boston Evening Transcript
sports writer a few days ago, Cy
said:
"Things weren't always so easy for
club owners. I can remember a time,
almost fifty years ago, when I was
with Cleveland. We were playing in
Pittsburgh against Tip O'Neil's 'Wonders' and, would you believe it, there
were only 93 paid admissions. That
was the smallest crowd I have ever
seen at a major league game and I
don't think that record will ever be
broken.
"But owners didn't have the salary
squabbles in those days because there
was a limit of $2400 a year in the
National league up to 1900 and in
those days a rookie would probably
work for about $1500. Some managers were paid around $3000 but
that was tops. I guess I was born
too soon."
t t t
Cy pitched 873 games in his twenty-two years of baseball and won 511.
He spent about eleven and a half
year's with the National league and
the rest of the time with the American. He has played with but four
major league clubs—Cleveland, St.
Louis and both Boston clubs.
Old Cy doesn't believe that_ the
game today compares with old times.

WARM WATE IN POOL
ATTRACTS SWIMMERS
Notwithstanding the Variable
Weather Many Persons of All
Ages Are Taking Advantage
of the Opportunity To Enjoy
Themselves — Special Attractions As Days Grow Warmer.
IN OTHER LINES OF SPORT
Swimming will be taken up in earnest this week; the big pool is full of
pure water and the sun has warmed
it to the right temperature and class
work has started. Many are taking
advantage of the opportunity to swim
in filtered water and feel it is a privilege to be able to partake of $his cool
and refreshing type of exercise.
Classes For All
There are classes for all, women,
men, beginners, navigators and ad
vanced, also in the art of diving. Competent teachers are always on hand
to aid the patrons.
Memberships are very reasonable
and everyone should have one and
make use of it.
Special attractions for the season
are: Education exhibition, penny
night, old clothes display and swim,
watermelon hunts and many swimming meets.
THE TENNIS CLUB
New Names Are Being Added
To the Organization.
The North Canton Tennis club announces that "official" play on the
three Hower street courts began on
Monday, but there is still plenty of
time to join.
As announced previously in The
Sun, memberships this year are at a
new low figure—$4.00 for men; $3.00
for women; and $5.00 for husband and
wife. You can secure membership at
the Comunity Building. All students
under college graduates are permitted
to play free at certain hours.
To Enforce Rules
The officers of the tennis club
point out that every effort will now
be made to keep the courts open for
play and to enforce membership rules.
The rules now in effect restrict
"free" play after 3 p.m. daily, afternoon on Saturdays, and on Sundays
and holidays. This does not hold if
the courts are free.
Members listed on the club roll before official play began on Monday
include: D. W. Forney, J. W. Lucas,
L. M. Jones, M. E. Bixler, O. B. Sutton, H. Hoffman, C. G. Puchy, G. L.

ACME STORE No. Ill of North
Canton greets the public this
week with a remodeled establishment, but James Archer, the manager,
and his able and courteous assistants,
are still behind the counters wearing
the same old smiles and greeting the
public in the cordial manner for which
they are famous.
It is not often The Sun devotes an
editorial to a store, but knowing the
Acme for years and its brilliant and
manly founder, Fred W. Albrecht (the
beloved "Mister"), it did not seem
just human to pass the present improvements in the store without a few
words of appreciation.
It was the iron-clad rule of the
founder of the Acme stores that each
store should become a close partner
of the community in which it was established. That rule his sons and
other members of the company follow
today to the letter. "The Acme is one
of us" may be heard in every town
wherein is an Acme store. There is a
warmth of friendship one can not explain, but it is there, and that is the
reason their stores are so well pal
ronized.
On second thought, it can be explained: It is the spirit of the great
man who founded the business hovering over the entire personnel. And
that spirit will never die while the
name of Albrecht is in a directory.

Walter Taylor Listed Among
America's Elect.
Hastings-on-the Hudson is a part of
Greater New York, a suburb wherein
reside people known as "commuters."
They have offices in Manhattan. Hastings has a newspaper, The News, and
in that sprightly publication The Sun
reads that Walter A. Taylor, architect, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claud Taylor
of West Summit street, North Canton,
is listed in "Who's Who."
Men and women whose names appear in "Who's Who" are there because of some achievement above the
ordinary. Merely possessing money,
or conducting a successful business,
does not get a person in "Who's Who."
You must be outstanding.

Cy Young's statement that when he
was with Cleveland 50 years ago the
attendance at a game in Pittsburgh
reached the astonishing figures of 93
paid admissions recalls to the mind
of the writer of this column the famous Baltimore Orioles, champions of
the National league. [The American
league was not born in the days when
Baltimore was winning pennants year

The Baltimore team contained such
players as Wilbur Robinson, John

decided that a little hiking would be
good for them, mentally and physically. That was a number of years
ago, and several of the boys who accompanied him on his journeys are
voters today and fathers. Many of
them attribute their excellent health
to the hikes they took under the
watchful eyes of Mr. Wood.
Articles To Take On Hike
Asked by The Sun the things
necessary to do if you are going on
a week-end hiking party, Mr. Wood
replied: "The question of what and
what not to pack in your haversack
is an important one. Keep the load
as light as possible, but not at the
expense of certain essentials. A small
towel, a piece of soap, toothbrush,
toothpaste and comb are necessities;
so too are a change of socks and a
pair of comfortable shoes to put on
.•after the day's hike is finished. "It
is a good idea to have two pairs of
walking shoes and to wear them on
alternate days," said Mr. Wood.
"Their slight variation of fit and pressure will be found welcome and help
to prevent chafing. Oil or grease the
shoes for two or three days beforehand to make them soft and waterproof. Dust them inside with boracic
powder, a small packet of which
should be included in your 'first-aid.'
Scissors, cotton-wool, lint, iodine and
a good cold cream should always have
a place in your haversack.
"Take an old hiker's tip—rest at
the end of the first two miles or so;
pull any wrinkles out of your socks
and make any adjustments to your
pack that comfort dictates. Then up
and on for a joyous day's hike," were
the parting words of Mr. Wood.

Officers Elected—Members Met
Tuesday Afternoon, June 7
Plain township Girls' 4-H Clothing
club was organized on Saturday, May
28, under the leadership of Miss Anna
Mae Gill and Miss Catherine Fredrick.
The following officers were elected
for the year: Phyllis Hinton, president; Phoebe Kandel, vice-president;
Bernice Bradley, secretary; Mildred
Nickls, treasurer; Jean ' Takacs, reporter; and Martha Mae Grove, recreation leader.
A meeting was held yesterday
(Tuesday) afternoon at the home of
Phyllis Hinton.
Canton, home of the finest and fastest half mile track in the country, will
become the mecca for harness racing
fans from all over Ohio and adjoining
states on Friday, June 10, when the
cream of harness horses converges on
the city for six nights of racing.
Recognized as the finest meet of its
kind ever held in Canton, it also is
considered by many of the country's
grand circuit drivers as the outstanding event scheduled over short ship
circuits this season.
The fine track at the Stark County
Fairground over which many of the
country's leading harness horses have
run, played a large part in bringing
out a field of more than 300 of the
best horses in tiie country. Owners
of many large stables were anxious
to participate in the Canton event to
enable their drivers to try their
horses over a track that has been
recognized among the country's fast-
i est.
Racing Fans Interested
This is of particular interest to
harness racing fans in Stark, Columbiana, Carroll, Holmes, Wayne, Ashland, Summit, Tuscarawas, Mahoning
and Jefferson counties because of their
close proximity to Canton. Since the
races have been scheduled at night,
the schedule is expected to bring out
a large number of racing fans who
ordinarily do not have an opportunity
to take in races except during the
county fairs.
Outstanding feature of the Canton
program, sponsored by the Canton
Driving Park company, will be the
$1,000 free-for-all pacing stake with
a list of 14 prominent entries including champions and two-minute stars.
Entered in this contest will be some
of the best horses from all sections
of the United States and Canada.

headlines about the doings of
gangsters, kidnappers, racketeers, and
fakers of every kind we wonder if
there is any good left in the world.
The thought comes to us that humanity is slipping into the depths.
Then a paragraph catches our eye
and we learn that District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey of New York has
caused the arrest of "a small group
of men who with an original investment of $5 got control of seven investment trusts with combined assets
of $16,000,000." Mr. Dewey is preeminent among district attorneys in
large cities, but thank heaven, he is
not the only one who is striving to
put crooks with huge bank-rolls behind prison bars.
While the nation has such men as
Thomas E. Dewey to set an example,
and while other public prosecutors are
willing to fight corruption in high
places, we realize that "things could
be worse." But—and perish the
thought!—suppose Tammany Hall
(Democrats) and the Republican candidate for Governor of New York had
won the last election where would the
scoundrels Dewey sent to prison, and
Governor Lehman refuses to pardon,
be today?
The question answers itself. The

LETTERS TO THE SUN
The Game of Marbles
Editors The Sun: I have been reading a lot lately about marble contests,
and champions and near-champions
going to Ocean City, New Jersey.
Who started this fad, and what is it,
just a racket to boost a newspaper's
circulation?—A FATHER.
Answer—Marbles has been played
from time immemorial, the Chinese
and Hindus being adepts at the game,
and in India at present it has a tremendous following. History tells us
that Imperial Augustus played the
game as boy and man "cum nucibus"
(with nuts), in the company of Moors.
The English marbles championship,
held at Tmsley Green, Sussex, every
year, is comparatively a modern affair, being no more than 300 years
old, but has a strong following and
is increasing in popularity.—Editors

NEW CLUB MEMBERS
Thirty Warmly Greeted At Reception By N. C. Women.
Reception for the new members of

Yellow rose buds were given as special
favors to the new members.
Different working functions of the
various divisions of the club were explained by a number of the club members.
Miss Jeanne Meyers, accompanied
by Miss Ellen Schaffer, gave two vocal numbers, "By the Bend of the
River," by Clara Edwards; "Love
Came Calling," by James Enik.
Tea tables were decorated with
Spring flowers and green tapers.
Mrs. Wilma Gougler was tea hostess for the afternoon.

Special to The Sun
Boston, Mass., June 8—The annual
meeting of The First Church of
Christ, Scientist, held in this city yesterday, was the most successful in the
history of the Mother Church.
A warning to nations "whose governments have been conceived largely
in selfish ambition and brought forth
by human force" was issued by The
Christian Science Board of Directors
who declared the lessons of history
show such governing bodies to be "of
few days and full of trouble."
Reports disclosed continued growth
of the Christian Science movement,
increasingly higher standards for authorized periodicals, and a larger
number of requests from groups of
non-Scientists for representative
Christian Scientists to address them.
Election of Ralph Hastings Knapp,
C.S., of Needham, Mass., as President
of The Mother Church was announced.
He succeeds Judge Clifford P. Smith
of Newton, Massachusetts.
The report of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship, read by
Richard J. Davis, chairman, told of
3211 lectures delivered during the
past year.
The lecture held at Baguio, in the
Philippine Islands, was unique, he
said, for in the audience there were
about 60 native Igorots, one of whom
introduced the lecturer. In Tasmania
a lecture was broadcast for the first
time.

in the governor's office. The Indepen
dent voter is the backbone of America.
Without him (or her) this would be
a nation of jellyfishes and crooks of
high and low degree would do the
bossing. New York city, Philadelphia,
Boston, Kansas City, Minneapolis and
St. Paul were rotten to the core politically and no man was safe. Finally
the Independent voter became disgusted and kicked the rascals out of
office.
Except in a few—very few—cases,
Stark county until a few years ago
was dominated by a certain crowd
composed of fellows who impudently
told the taxpayers to go to hades.
The inside dope on that crew would
startle even hardened heelers if published. Fortunately the Independent
voter arrived in time to put an end
to such high flinging, and Canton followed suit and cleaned house.
Stark county (and this includes its
three cities, Canton, Alliance and
Massillon,) is not 100 per cent, wrapped in sanctitude, but it is much better than many counties in the state—
far better, and citizens know they
will not be laughed at when they appear before the head of a bureau with
a legitimate protest. For which courtesy thank' the Independent voter.

North Canton Library Begins
Interesting Contest.
"There is no frigate like a book
To bear us miles away."
Thus will the boys and girls of
North Canton travel to visit many
lands and peoples in the ships they
have made for the reading contest at
the' library this summer.
The contest will begin on June 15
and continue until August 15.
To the pilot who brings in the best
cargo of books read during this time
will go the prize fpr the summer
voyage.
Those wishing 'to enroll may do so
at any time. There will be many new
books available only to those entering
the contest, although contestants may
read other books from the shelves.
It is hoped many will go "a-voyag-
ing" just for pleasure around the
ocean walls of the library and bring
in well laden vessels by August 15.

Young Janson belongs to half ai the court house in Canton,
dozen societies with high-sounding
names. He is also a member of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps band.
He has one more hurdle to leap before he becomes national champion.
If he wins that the American Legion

trip to Washington, D. C, and he will
be guest speaker at the Legion's
national convention in Los Angeles in
September.
His father is a lawyer, although at
one time he was superintendent of
schools in Phoenix. The Willaman
family in North Canton are relatives.
Mrs. R. K. Warburton of 328 West
Maple street is John Janson's aunt.
Another relative was superintendent
of the schools of North Canton before C. F. McFadden held the position.

get the opinions of potato growers as
to how the marketing agreements may
be made most beneficial to most
potato growers.
In July a referendum will probably
be held to determine whether potato
growers want to have the marketing
agreements made compulsory.

Personification of Neatness, It
Not Only Carries a Choice
Line of Standard Goods But It
Materially Aids Farmers By
Buying Their Surplus Stock
In Large Quantities.
COURTESY IS WATCHWORD
This week-end will mark the opening of a remodeled Acme No. 111.
The store has been in North Canton
for a good many years; It has served
the people of this community faithfully and well. The improvements
made within the store will make it
still more pleasant and more convenient for the shoppers of North Canton.
The vegetable department will make
available for Acme customers practically any fruit or vegetable they desire. This display is the largest and
best kept in North Canton.
Although the Acme Store in Norch
Canton is owned by the Fred W. Albrecht Grocery Company in Akron, it
has always been considered a locally
owned store. Acme No. Ill is under
the direct supervision of William C.
Rowe of Canton.
Moves Surplus Crops
The Acme Stores are members. of
The National Association of Food
Chains. This association has done a
great deal to help move farm surplus
crops. The Acme Stores have been
very much interested in this program
and have assisted the work from the
very start.
Although this particular farming
community has not been over-burdened with surplus crops, other communities have, and the Acme Stores
have aided in reducing the surplus
and the people of .North Canton have
had the advantage of low prices and
high quality and fresh merchandise,
Help Fruit Growers
Fred C. Pockrandt, an executive of
the Fred Albrecht company, is vice
president of the organization that
' has as its object the proper distribu
tion of surplus crops. In 1936 the
Acme Stores were active in the moving of heavy peach crops which raised
the price of peaches from $15 to $30
per ton to the farmer and gave a
real bargain price in canned peaches
to the consumer.
Last year the heavy apple crop was
moved at an advanced price to the
farmer and a low price to the consumer.
Mr. Pockrandt told this writer for
The Sun that Ohio surplus products
were handled first by Ohio members
and then other states were helped in
their surplus problems.
Acme No. Ill has a very high rating among all of the Acme Stores.
As one of the Acme officials said:
"We consider Acme No. Ill one of
the best stores in our group. We can
always depend on the enthusiasm, cooperation, and sincerity of the people
in this store."
Able, Courteous Staff
The Acme Store in North Canton
has an able and courteous staff composed of the following persons: James
Archer, manager; E. W. Baad, Leona
Bishop, Harold Schoner, John S. Surbey, Helen Decker. Extra clerks, Cletus Moledor, Beulah Levinger.

Told Without
Varnish h Ben Long
I am convinced that only by such
a medium aa this column can certain
types of news and opinions be Bet
forth.
Baseball—Then and Now
A man well
known in North
Canton—he delivered a "pep"
address in
the Community
Building several
years ago—
Denton Tecum-
seh Young by
name—was introduced to the
audience by his
old friend, William J. Evans,
a baseball fan
of the first rank.
From ' what I read in the Boston
papers Cy Young—"Old Cy Young"—
is going to remain as "greeter" at
Fred Putnam's hotel on Huntington
avenue in that city of culture, brown
bread, beans, codfish and spectacles.
The reason: "The New England climate always makes me feel as chipper
as a colt."
Cy owns a farm in Peolia, Tuscarawas county, and, making frequent
business trips to Canton, he has a
large acquaintance in that town.
Thirty-odd -years ago Cy Young
could split a fairly thick board with
a pitched ball, and he was undoubtedly the greatest of his day. Talking
with a Boston Evening Transcript
sports writer a few days ago, Cy
said:
"Things weren't always so easy for
club owners. I can remember a time,
almost fifty years ago, when I was
with Cleveland. We were playing in
Pittsburgh against Tip O'Neil's 'Wonders' and, would you believe it, there
were only 93 paid admissions. That
was the smallest crowd I have ever
seen at a major league game and I
don't think that record will ever be
broken.
"But owners didn't have the salary
squabbles in those days because there
was a limit of $2400 a year in the
National league up to 1900 and in
those days a rookie would probably
work for about $1500. Some managers were paid around $3000 but
that was tops. I guess I was born
too soon."
t t t
Cy pitched 873 games in his twenty-two years of baseball and won 511.
He spent about eleven and a half
year's with the National league and
the rest of the time with the American. He has played with but four
major league clubs—Cleveland, St.
Louis and both Boston clubs.
Old Cy doesn't believe that_ the
game today compares with old times.

IN OTHER LINES OF SPORT
Swimming will be taken up in earnest this week; the big pool is full of
pure water and the sun has warmed
it to the right temperature and class
work has started. Many are taking
advantage of the opportunity to swim
in filtered water and feel it is a privilege to be able to partake of $his cool
and refreshing type of exercise.
Classes For All
There are classes for all, women,
men, beginners, navigators and ad
vanced, also in the art of diving. Competent teachers are always on hand
to aid the patrons.
Memberships are very reasonable
and everyone should have one and
make use of it.
Special attractions for the season
are: Education exhibition, penny
night, old clothes display and swim,
watermelon hunts and many swimming meets.
THE TENNIS CLUB
New Names Are Being Added
To the Organization.
The North Canton Tennis club announces that "official" play on the
three Hower street courts began on
Monday, but there is still plenty of
time to join.
As announced previously in The
Sun, memberships this year are at a
new low figure—$4.00 for men; $3.00
for women; and $5.00 for husband and
wife. You can secure membership at
the Comunity Building. All students
under college graduates are permitted
to play free at certain hours.
To Enforce Rules
The officers of the tennis club
point out that every effort will now
be made to keep the courts open for
play and to enforce membership rules.
The rules now in effect restrict
"free" play after 3 p.m. daily, afternoon on Saturdays, and on Sundays
and holidays. This does not hold if
the courts are free.
Members listed on the club roll before official play began on Monday
include: D. W. Forney, J. W. Lucas,
L. M. Jones, M. E. Bixler, O. B. Sutton, H. Hoffman, C. G. Puchy, G. L.

ACME STORE No. Ill of North
Canton greets the public this
week with a remodeled establishment, but James Archer, the manager,
and his able and courteous assistants,
are still behind the counters wearing
the same old smiles and greeting the
public in the cordial manner for which
they are famous.
It is not often The Sun devotes an
editorial to a store, but knowing the
Acme for years and its brilliant and
manly founder, Fred W. Albrecht (the
beloved "Mister"), it did not seem
just human to pass the present improvements in the store without a few
words of appreciation.
It was the iron-clad rule of the
founder of the Acme stores that each
store should become a close partner
of the community in which it was established. That rule his sons and
other members of the company follow
today to the letter. "The Acme is one
of us" may be heard in every town
wherein is an Acme store. There is a
warmth of friendship one can not explain, but it is there, and that is the
reason their stores are so well pal
ronized.
On second thought, it can be explained: It is the spirit of the great
man who founded the business hovering over the entire personnel. And
that spirit will never die while the
name of Albrecht is in a directory.

of West Summit street, North Canton,
is listed in "Who's Who."
Men and women whose names appear in "Who's Who" are there because of some achievement above the

Cy Young's statement that when he

reached the astonishing figures of 93

of the writer of this column the famous Baltimore Orioles, champions of
the National league. [The American

Baltimore was winning pennants year

decided that a little hiking would be
good for them, mentally and physically. That was a number of years
ago, and several of the boys who accompanied him on his journeys are
voters today and fathers. Many of
them attribute their excellent health
to the hikes they took under the
watchful eyes of Mr. Wood.
Articles To Take On Hike
Asked by The Sun the things
necessary to do if you are going on
a week-end hiking party, Mr. Wood
replied: "The question of what and
what not to pack in your haversack
is an important one. Keep the load
as light as possible, but not at the
expense of certain essentials. A small
towel, a piece of soap, toothbrush,
toothpaste and comb are necessities;
so too are a change of socks and a
pair of comfortable shoes to put on
.•after the day's hike is finished. "It
is a good idea to have two pairs of
walking shoes and to wear them on
alternate days," said Mr. Wood.
"Their slight variation of fit and pressure will be found welcome and help
to prevent chafing. Oil or grease the
shoes for two or three days beforehand to make them soft and waterproof. Dust them inside with boracic
powder, a small packet of which
should be included in your 'first-aid.'
Scissors, cotton-wool, lint, iodine and
a good cold cream should always have
a place in your haversack.
"Take an old hiker's tip—rest at
the end of the first two miles or so;
pull any wrinkles out of your socks
and make any adjustments to your
pack that comfort dictates. Then up
and on for a joyous day's hike," were
the parting words of Mr. Wood.

Officers Elected—Members Met
Tuesday Afternoon, June 7
Plain township Girls' 4-H Clothing
club was organized on Saturday, May
28, under the leadership of Miss Anna
Mae Gill and Miss Catherine Fredrick.
The following officers were elected
for the year: Phyllis Hinton, president; Phoebe Kandel, vice-president;
Bernice Bradley, secretary; Mildred
Nickls, treasurer; Jean ' Takacs, reporter; and Martha Mae Grove, recreation leader.
A meeting was held yesterday
(Tuesday) afternoon at the home of
Phyllis Hinton.
Canton, home of the finest and fastest half mile track in the country, will
become the mecca for harness racing
fans from all over Ohio and adjoining
states on Friday, June 10, when the
cream of harness horses converges on
the city for six nights of racing.
Recognized as the finest meet of its
kind ever held in Canton, it also is
considered by many of the country's
grand circuit drivers as the outstanding event scheduled over short ship
circuits this season.
The fine track at the Stark County
Fairground over which many of the
country's leading harness horses have
run, played a large part in bringing
out a field of more than 300 of the
best horses in tiie country. Owners
of many large stables were anxious
to participate in the Canton event to
enable their drivers to try their
horses over a track that has been
recognized among the country's fast-
i est.
Racing Fans Interested
This is of particular interest to
harness racing fans in Stark, Columbiana, Carroll, Holmes, Wayne, Ashland, Summit, Tuscarawas, Mahoning
and Jefferson counties because of their
close proximity to Canton. Since the
races have been scheduled at night,
the schedule is expected to bring out
a large number of racing fans who
ordinarily do not have an opportunity
to take in races except during the
county fairs.
Outstanding feature of the Canton
program, sponsored by the Canton
Driving Park company, will be the
$1,000 free-for-all pacing stake with
a list of 14 prominent entries including champions and two-minute stars.
Entered in this contest will be some
of the best horses from all sections
of the United States and Canada.

headlines about the doings of
gangsters, kidnappers, racketeers, and
fakers of every kind we wonder if
there is any good left in the world.
The thought comes to us that humanity is slipping into the depths.
Then a paragraph catches our eye
and we learn that District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey of New York has
caused the arrest of "a small group
of men who with an original investment of $5 got control of seven investment trusts with combined assets
of $16,000,000." Mr. Dewey is preeminent among district attorneys in
large cities, but thank heaven, he is
not the only one who is striving to
put crooks with huge bank-rolls behind prison bars.
While the nation has such men as
Thomas E. Dewey to set an example,
and while other public prosecutors are
willing to fight corruption in high
places, we realize that "things could
be worse." But—and perish the
thought!—suppose Tammany Hall
(Democrats) and the Republican candidate for Governor of New York had
won the last election where would the
scoundrels Dewey sent to prison, and
Governor Lehman refuses to pardon,
be today?
The question answers itself. The
